Türkiye instead of Turkey? Well, okay. Then why not spell Ukraine as Україна and Russia as Россия?

Just curious.

If it is not on my keyboard, it is not in my language. I have no use of appearing scholarly in another land.

(That is long version of "stuff it".)

I think we both see that as some form of virtue signalling or keyboard snobbery. Turkey it is! How else can we say "Hitler got Hungary and ate Turkey"?

I think they were upset at being compared with the national Thanksgiving bird. Erdogan and Zelensky seem to have come to a mutually acceptable decision on the future of Crimea.
